Abstract
The article presents a new vision of the position on the impact of environmental factors on the development of endocrine diseases, in particular, the menopause, which are associated with the total metabolic disorders, the deficiency or excess of trace elements, the neurotoxicity of chemicals that damage the human nervous system, brain, and trigger genetic mutations processes. The chemical compounds accumulated in the human body are transmitted to newborns, they are deep and long-lasting and manifest themselves, if not in the first generation then in the second one. Due to the increase in the number of cases of external and internal irradiation of the population, there are structural and functional changes in the human body. It is established that the pathological process, which begins with the endocrine gland, leads to the violation of its secretory activity. This endocrine pathology is called the primary one. The secondary origin of endocrine disorders is associated with the inadequate pituitary regulation which leads to the increased or decreased secretion of hormones. The one third of endocrine pathology is associated with the impaired secretion of pituitary hormones, which are realized through the neuroendocrine system. It is proved that as a result of technogenic influence on the body of men, there are functional changes of the gonads which are manifested by the androgenic insufficiency of vascular, and urogenital disorders. The treatment of menopausal syndrome of men should be comprehensive and include a balanced diet, work and rest, taking sedatives, metabolic drugs, and hormone replacement therapy.
